Earth Layers Compare/Contrst Complete the Earth Layers T-Chart C Crust Rocks: Solid/Brittle Outermost, Coldest, Thinnest, Least Dense M Rocks: Semi-Solid, Molten Oc Iron/Nickel: Liquid Mantle Outer Core Ic Inner Core Thickest, “Plastic Layer” All Liquid Iron/Nickel: Solid Innermost, Hottest, Densest Magnetic Field

Use HOTTER, COOLER, DENSER, or LESS DENSE for each comparison/contrast fill-in. 1. What happens to temperature and density as you move from Crust to the Core? As you move from Crust to the Core: - The temperature increases - The density increases - The pressure increases - They all increase

Use HOTTER, COOLER, DENSER, or LESS DENSE for each comparison/contrast fill-in. Cooler and less dense 2. The Crust is _______________ than the Mantle. Hotter and more dense than the Mantle. 3. The Outer Core is _____________ Cooler and less dense 4. Compared to the Outer Core, the Mantle is __________

Hotter and more dense 5. Compared to the Crust, the Mantle is _________________ Cooler and less dense 6. Compared to the Inner Core, the Outer Core is _____________ Hotter and more dense 7. Compared to the Mantle Core, the Outer Core is _____________

8. How is the Inner Core different than the Outer Core? Ic is Solid, Oc is liquid Ic is more dense and hotter Inner core is deeper 9. How is the Inner Core and the Outer core similar? They are both made of Iron/Nickel

10. How is the Mantle and the Crust similar They are both made out of ROCKS 11. How is the Mantle and the Crust different? Crust is solid, Mantle is semi-solid and molten Mantle is hotter and more dense Mantle is thicker (thickest) Crust is thinner (thinnest)
